Human resources are the key to sustainability in Africa
Access to the right human resources is key to the sustainable development of business aviation in Africa . So it was with great pleasure that we formulated the start of two training partnerships . Memos of Understanding ( MoU ) were signed with the Association of African Aviation Training Organizations ( AATO ), and the Joint Aviation Authorities Training Organisation ( JAA TO ). With these new relationships in place AfBAA is better positioned to improve access to standardised information , provide credible courses continent wide , and encourage African professionals to be trained in , and then subsequently work in , African business aviation . We are also in advanced discussions with Ethiopian Airlines to launch a Business Aviation 101 introductory course at their elite aviation academy in Addis Ababa . Education , professional development and training will continue to be a key theme for AfBAA in 2018 .
